currently, my favorite podcasts

If you’ve hung around kedgotwed before, you know I’m a huge fan of podcasts! I’ve wanted to do a post about my favorite podcasts for a few months now, but I could never figure out how to structure it. You see, I’m always listening to new podcasts, so this topic almost felt too fluid to pin down. Does that make sense?!

Anyway, during my blogging break, I finally came to the conclusion that a podcast post did not have to be a “my favorite podcasts of all time” post. Since podcasts are a fluid part of my life, I want this post to reflect that!

With all of this being said, I’ve come up with a few categories of podcasts I enjoy. Included are some of my go-tos, some that I have only listened to a handful of times, AND some I plan on starting soon. Let’s dive in!

go-to, light-hearted podcasts

Happier with Gretchen Rubin – If I had to pick one podcast to listen to for the rest of my life, this would be it! Gretchen and her sister, Elizabeth, talk about ways we can all make our lives a little happier. From things such as cleaning out a closet, to re-framing your thoughts to be more positive, they approach happiness in a way I have never encountered. Actually, sometimes I think this podcast has a lot of influence on KGW!!

Lady Lovin’ – What a fun, laid back podcast! Lo, Jilly, and Greta talk about life as a women in the twentieth century…and they ALWAYS make me laugh! They are incredibly relatable and honest. Such a great podcast for anyone woman who is in her 20’s or 30’s, works hard in her personal and professional life, and knows the importance of kicking off her heals and indulging in a glass bottle of wine on occasion.

true crime

Originally, I was going to incorporate these into my go-to list, but they don’t really fit that vibe. I’m almost always listening to some sort of true crime / investigative podcast – they’re addicting! I recently finished In the Dark, so need to start a new one soon! Some of my favorites I’ve listened to are:

just started

Happier in Hollywood – The co-host of Happier with Gretchen Rubin, Elizabeth, started this podcast with her life-long friend, Sarah. This is a great spin on happiness with a focus on the professional world. I was worried at first it would be all about movie stars / how to be famous, but that’s not what it is at all!!! It’s a great weekly compliment to Happier with Gretchen Rubin!!

Off the Vine with Kaitlyn Bristowe – To be honest, I still haven’t made it though a whole episode…but I’ve started 3 different ones! These are looong episodes (longer than 1 hour) and I feel like they incorporate a lot of advertisements. However, with that being said, Kaitlyn is HILARIOUS!!! I’m not ready to give up on this podcast yet – I can see potential!

want to start

I always keep a running list of new podcasts to start listening to. Hopefully I’ll start some of these this week! I’ll be sure to keep y’all posted! 🙂

OMG yes! Ive been looking for something like this as I wanted to keep a list of podcasts to listen to! Do you listen to podcasts while working/blogging? I often have netflix on but I get so distracted!

I listen to Happier and Happier in Hollywood too! They are up at the top of my favorites list because they never fail to be entertaining and relevant at the same time. Gretchen, Elizabeth, and Sarah all seem so fun and approachable, and they have so many great hacks and tips that get you thinking about how to make your day to day routine better.

If you loved Serial, you will LOVE Up and Vanished…at least the first dozen episodes of the first season. It definitely dragged on after a major development in the case happened, but I would definitely suggest the first 12 episodes!

I currently love The Goal Digger podcast with Jenna Kutcher! It’s a girlboss podcast about life and running a creative business. I’ve been searching for new podcasts to check out, so this list is perfect! I can’t wait to check out Gretchen. 🙂

I love podcasts! I usually have them on during my workweek commute! I haven’t heard of these but I’m lame and usually listen to medical podcasts haha! I definitely could get into some crime podcasts though!

I’m so excited to know podcasts are still so popular. I’m planning on starting one for myself and I’ll be listening to your suggested podcast list to further my familiarity with this type of information sharing. Thanks.
